Context: PugJesus often spams low quality posts across the dozen or so communities they mod, apparently downvoting low effort spam on my frontpage is trolling. The only other action in the modlog is a different ban for 74 years for “Mass downvoting innocuous content,” so it definitely seems they are just banning people that dislike their spam. Glad we’re not missing out on the reddit mod experience here.

        Well I find that hard to believe, but that’s not quite what I asked. I said are you familiar with them. More specifically how they post. Because you must know they post like 150 posts a day. Spamming simultaniously all across multiple communities usually very low effort brain rot quality posts. It is extremely easy to end up down voting a lot of their posts. In fact if you have any Integrity you probably are going to end up down voting a lot of their stuff.

        Now I certainly agree that blocking them is the easier, and far more intelligent, option. However if you don’t pay attention to who’s posting things it’s very easy not to realize you’re down voting the same person over and over. And I don’t think most people do. Unless they have that user tagged or something.

          I’ve found some of their history posts pretty enjoyable. Sorry I don’t live up to your idea of integrity, I guess? I just don’t see the appeal of browsing all if you don’t want to see dumb meme content here and there. Not even sure I see how this is especially an instance of power tripping as it sounds like pug did OP a favor considering they didn’t like any of the content on the community in question. I checked the grimdank mod log and there’s a grand total of two bans.
